UAE to use satellites to crack down on crimes
A combination of unmanned aircraft and satellites could be used in the UAE soon for civilian purposes to track down criminals and criminal activities, a senior official of Ministry of Defence said yesterday.
While announcing the hosting of the region’s first Defence Geospatial Intelligence Conference in Dubai from April 27 to 29, Colonel Adel Ahmed Sultan of Defence Ministry, said satellite technologies will be soon used to crack down on crimes in the country.
Commenting on the geographical information available on the Internet, Col. Adel said that it does not pose any security threat as the information is not complete. “I believe that nobody can raise any security threat with the information available on the Internet as it is not 100 per cent accurate information,” he said.
Defence Geospatial Intelligence Conference will be held under the patronage of Ministry of Defence and organised by International Quality and Productivity Center (IQPC).
Hugh James, Divisional Director of Defence IQ, IQPC Middle East, said, “The three-day Geospatial Intelligence Middle East forum will give military personnel an opportunity to meet key decision-makers and exchange knowledge of best practices and expertise.”
The summit will straddle the military-civilian divide to drive forward regional geospatial development. With exclusive case studies from some of the global leaders in intelligence exploitation, this event will tackle the inter-operability and integration head-on.
“The conference will deliver critical information to senior decision-makers in the defence, aerospace and technology sectors, tackling issues relating to the latest defence plans, requirements, programmes and technologies and how they affect the industry,” said James.
“Within the GCC countries, the use of geographic information is increasingly valuable in the defence sector as well as in civilian sphere in terms of regional development and ensuring national security. As the threat to national security increases, asymmetrical partnership between military, security and civilian organisations has become critical,” said James. Source
